I've heard about this, but I haven't checked it out. The MF Bunko label scares me.

In case you're interested about stories with video game relevance, I also suggest 僕と彼女のゲーム戦争 (Boku to Kanojo no Game Sensou) by Shiwasu Tooru. Aside from the very nice art, it's got very good reviews with its four volumes. It's like Haganai, only with games and nice art by Happou Bijin.

I can translate the summary from the chinese summary, but don't expect much >_>

Summary - They are Hikki and Neet and they don't go out of their room but on the internet they are refered to as an urban legend,"genius gamers" "blank" ( Here it uses the character "sky" and "white"[which is the brother and sister's name], when combine it means "blank". ) Those two refer to the world as a "Trash Game." Then one day those two are transported to another world by a boy who refered to himself as "God." This is a world where wars are prohibited, a world where everything is decided by "games," yes, even the borders of a country is decided by "games."Forced by the other race, there's only one city left for the human race "Imanity." Can the brother and sister being the hikki/neet that they are become the "savior" of mankind?
"Now let us begin the game!"

Edit - Someone who can post a better translation please do so m(>_<)m

NO GAME NO LIFE(MF Bunko J)
This is the story of a NEET and Hikikomori siblings who are also a genius gamer that become an urban legend on internet known as "Kuuhaku"(空(sora(brother))+白(shiro(sister)) = 空白(Kuuhaku)) a legendary gamer who never lost once.
One day the two were summoned to a parallel world where war was prohibited by God and everything will be settled by a game. Be it a territory , life or even a chastity(?).
Will these two hopeless human become a savior for mankind who got chased by the other races till they only have one city left?

I've read the first volume and It's really a great series, can't wait for vol.2

And no this one is not a story focus on video game.
It's about every kind of game such as chess, cards and ETC that play in a way out of common sense.

Their opponents are those inhuman races such as angels, dragons, elves, beastmen and etc who possessed every kind of extraordinary powers. While human have nothing.

Yeah, and that's why I love this series.
A badass(and pervert) gamer siblings who win an out of common sense game with even more out of common sense way.

Now after reading a preview for new volume, I wonder how can they win a game against an enemy who can read their mind.

Brocon sister ^^

Spoiler for LN:

They have so many disadvantages being unable to use mindreading and all other other special characteristics of the other race >_> going to be a hard fight for them after all, but they did win against "god" so it will be interesting to see what else they can do as the story goes on, can't wait till they challenge him again XD I really like how the story is made up of the sister and brother who cover for what the other don't have when they play the game, together they make up 空白

Do they know that the other is a con? If so, then what's to stop them from getting it on?

It's actually quite interesting and I don't want to spoil too much but

Spoiler for LN:

It's cause the sister is not of age yet, so they come up with all those things with the other female character they met in the other world, like purposely making those "ecchi" scenes in anime happens with that other female character with the brother involved lol,but they took care that those scenes aren't ecchi enough to b R18

p.s. vol.2 is coming at the end of this month

I stand corrected then. Sounds like an interesting premise, and I definitely like it when characters who are far outmatched use their wits to compensate for their lack of overwhelming advantages, much like in the manga Mx0. Might give this one a shot.

If you like that kind of stuff you would definitely like this, the humans are like the weakest race in the novel lacking in many special powers the other race have. It's like what the brother said

Spoiler for LN:

Something along the line of we humans are the weakest, and in the past before the prohibition of war we are proud of that weakness because our only weapon is to use our brain to win battles while the strong uses their strength, but now wars are prohibited the other races are taking over our "weapon" and what we have left is the strong using our "weapon" But be proud, nothing have changed we are still the weakest, the strong trying to use the weapons we have will not be able to use it to their full potential.

Wait. You mean they make ecchi situations with other characters in place of each other?

How old are they and if they're both cons then do they act all lovey dovey all the time?

Yes they made situations like that in the novel, like making the red haired girl not wear any pantsu~ XD The "God" of the parallel world invited them to the other world, and at the end of vol 1 they won the position of the "king" of the city through a game. Not sure if there's any romantic developments yet, but the red haired girl fell in love with the brother due to him winning a game against her and then as the *bet* won from winning the game, he ordered her to fall in love with him. ( Yes she really fell in love with him, not like *forcefully fell in love but still actually hates him*). That cover for each other weakness, the sister is a genius but lack the ability to understand another's "heart" due to her being a genius. and the brother is a below the average kind of guy, and because of that he have the ability to understand a person's "heart". Lastly, yes that's the sister in the pic.

Yuu Kamiya writing is pretty surprising when I first got wind of this on twitter. I've meaning to follow this, but you guys just gave me more motivation to do so. Guess I'd have to avoid this thread for a while
